As the Trump administration nears the end of its first year in office, it is a propitious moment to take stock of the emerging US policy for an uncertain and very dynamic security and economic environment in the Trans-Pacific region. In order to most effectively address the region’s unfolding economic and security challenges and opportunities, the United States should work more closely than ever before with its like-minded allies and partners from both the Trans-Pacific and Trans-Atlantic communities to develop common approaches.

A long-time ally of the United States, the Republic of Korea (ROK) will be essential for the United States to successfully protect and advance its interests in the Asia-Pacific and beyond. To help achieve these goals, the Atlantic Council and the Korea Foundation have partnered to co-host their inaugural annual forum, “Reimagining the US-Korea Partnership in the Trans-Pacific Century.” This forum will explore how the US-ROK relationship fits into the administration’s emerging strategy toward the Asia Pacific, what the priorities are for the US-ROK security alliance and economic partnership, and what the future holds.
